He dropped in occasionally to watch a game, and he took interest in Bunny's progress; but he was very rarely moved to play himself. He was too restless, too volatile, to maintain any lasting enthusiasm for any pastime.
All they saw were Bunny's heels sticking out of the barrel, waving in the air, and now and then banging against a low shelf near which the flour barrel stood. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" cried Bunny, from inside the barrel. For that is where he was. He had fallen into the flour barrel! "Pull him out!" begged Sue. "I can't. I'm not strong enough to pull him up!" panted the customer, but doing her best.
This you?" asked the red man, as the Indians are sometimes called. "Yes, that's mine," said Bunny. "It's a train of cars." "Oh, puff-puff train. Eagle Feather ride in puff-puff train once. How him go?" and he set Bunny's train down on a smooth rock, while the little boy shook the dust from his clothes and tried to comb it out of his hair with his fingers.
Maud was aware of Jake standing squarely behind her, and she put out a hand to him which he grasped and held. Saltash was laughing, but they could not hear what he said. Only in a moment he had taken a hand of Bunny's and a hand of Toby's and joined them together. Toby's eyes were lifted to his face.
Brown smiled at her little girl, who seemed very much in earnest as she stood in front of the bushes, her finger still across her lips. "Bunny can't come, 'cause we're playing soldier and Indian," said Sue. "Bunny's been shot by an Indian arrow and I'm his nurse. He's just got over the fever, same as I did when I had the measles, and he's asleep.
By this time the cakes and pies were set out, and in a little while supper was ready. And how good those freshly caught fish tasted! Bunny declared his was the best, and really it did seem so, for it was a splendid bass. "And now for my pie," said Sue, as Mrs. Brown set it on the table. "I want you all to have some, and a big piece for Tom, 'cause he saved Bunny's fish." Mrs.
"We can picnic alongside the road, Sue, and watch Daddy and Uncle Tad get the car out." "Yes," said Bunny's sister. "And maybe I'll make a pie for you and Sallie Malinda." "No, I guess I wouldn't try a pie to-day," said Mrs. Brown with a smile. "We won't be able to use any stove except the small oil one, out on the ground, and that will cook only a few things.
No sooner had the children picked up sticks than the two dogs, who had started to play "tag" themselves, knew what was up. They both loved to go into the water after sticks. "Throw 'em far out now!" cried Bunny. He tossed his to the middle of the brook, and Sue flung hers nearly as far, for she was a good thrower almost as good as Bunny. Dix swam after Sue's stick, and Splash went for Bunny's.
"You're making too much noise," she told him curtly. "You go and racket downstairs!" Bunny's eyes widened for a second in indignant amazement, then abruptly he threw up his chin and laughed. "I like you!" he declared. "You're the cockiest thing in girls I've ever seen!" Toby pulled at his elbow like a small, persistent dog. "Go on!" she commanded. "Go down to them! Mrs.
"Equal to anything," said Toby promptly. "Let me go first!" "Why don't I go and get a light?" said Bunny. "Because you're not to. Because it's heaps more fun without. Besides, there's lots of light up there. Now then? Are you ready? Come on! Let's go!" Indomitable resolution sounded in Toby's voice. She drew herself free from Bunny's hold, and began to mount.
